Trump Wants Michael Flynn Back in White House

During the question period, a reporter asked Trump if he "urged" Comey to "close or to back down the investigation into Michael Flynn?".

Trump is both publicly and privately stewing about Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein's decision to name special counsel.

"I think it's totally ridiculous", the president replied.

Reporters pressed the Colombian president to comment on Trump's "America First" policy and the proposed southern border wall, but Santos sidestepped controversy by praising cooperation with the U.S. in ending the decades-long conflict in his country.

Officials say multiple grand jury subpoenas and records requests have been issued in connection with the two men during the past six months in the ongoing probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian attempts to influence the election, an inquiry that will now be overseen by former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

Trump said there was "no collusion" but added that he can only speak for himself.

Now he's tasked with evaluating Comey's accounts and recollections as he tries to play arbitrator in a mushrooming saga that's clouded Trump's nascent presidency.

Trump emphatically said "no" when asked during a joint news conference with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in the White House's East Room. But acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe told Congress last week that Comey "enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does today". "Zero", Trump said, adding, "My total priority, believe me, is the United States of America".

Trump to Implement Commission on "Election Integrity"

The New York Timesreported on Tuesday that the president asked FBI Director James Comey to drop his investigation into Flynn's ties to Russian Federation on the grounds that he's "a good guy". News reports have characterized the president as dissatisfied with his communications team's inability to control the tenor of the coverage of recent negative stories. "You can't let them get you down, can't let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams".

"I hung up, called Director Mueller, with whom I'd been discussing this particular matter and had been a great help to me over that week - and told him what was happening", Comey testified. "I think we have a very divided country because of that and many other things". The White House and advisers to the campaign have since confirmed four meetings between Kislyak and Trump advisers during that time.

Trump is scheduled to leave Washington on Friday (Saturday NZT) on his first foreign trip, a nine-day sojourn with stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy and Belgium, as well as a visit to the Vatican to meet Pope Francis.
